Al Nassr forward Anderson Talisca (30) will miss the rest of the season in Saudi Arabia due to a thigh injury, the Brazilian said on Tuesday.

The former Benfica and Besiktas player missed his side's 1-0 defeat away to Al Ain in the first leg of their Asian Champions League quarter-final on Monday.

The absence of Talisca, who has scored 25 goals in 25 games in all competitions this season, will be a huge below to Cristiano Ronaldo's Al Nassr.

"Injury is part of the sport, but my determination is even greater! The rehabilitation begins now, and I promise to come back stronger next season to contribute even more to Al Nassr's success," Talisca posted on Instagram.
